1 1/2 cups pecan halves
02 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1/4 cup light corn syrup
04 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
05 -
2 large eggs
06 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
07 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Crust
08 -
1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust
→ Chocolate Swirl
09 -
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 -
1/4 cup heavy cream
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges decoratively as desired.
02 -
Evenly distribute the pecan halves over the base of the pie crust.
03 -
In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted unsalted butter, large eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until homogenous.
04 -
Pour the blended filling mixture evenly over the arranged pecans, ensuring thorough coating.
05 -
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
06 -
Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the filled pie. Using a knife or spoon, gently swirl through the filling to create a marbled appearance.
07 -
Transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The filling should be set but may still exhibit a gentle jiggle at the center when gently shaken. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
08 -
Allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve on its own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
